My Plum is a bit of a fluff magnet though. I think I will stick with it till there’s a leather case that covers the Camera Control as the only option is to go Star Fruit (Yellow).
Got a tip for us?

I stayed with the sunset purple Beats and Lake green silicone in the end.
Will probably get the white bellroy venture case when it gets released.
Maybe it looks worse in-person, but in your pics I can barely see them. Wouldn’t bother me at all. Put on a case and press on is what I would do!

You have answered your own question. Exchange the phone, the process is easy. Apple wants you to be happy with your brand new product.
I've never exchanged an iphone within the 14 days windows, is it pretty easy? I'm still reeling about the iphone size and color.
My desert pro also had marks on the frame. I exchanged it for a black one. I really wasn’t crazy about the desert color anyway.
It depends on the terms of the purchase, if you bought from Apple it is very easy, if there is a carrier involved and the phone has been subsidized by that carrier, that could be different. But assuming you purchased from Apple, as long as the glass is not shattered, they are very friendly and accepting of returns/exchanges (and in some cases will let you return/exchange outside of that 14 days as long as there is a compelling reason for the delayed return). Either way, you mentioned Apples 14 day window, so I am assuming you purchased there, and in that case, yes it is easy (make sure you have backed up your data first).
Star test was done. Twice as many stars visible with the 1x camera on the 16 pro max vs the 15 pro max

I can hardly tell apart the photos from 12 Pro Max to 16 Pro but that just means the camera has been great enough for a while haha the only time it really matters to me is when I zoom
I was young and stupid and used my iPhone 12 without a case for a week, until the slippery bastard fell out of my hand and hit the concrete.
Scratched the body and put a single scratch on screen. Not too deep or huge but noticeable.
After that, I put the case back on but wasn't bothering with a screen protector, too late for that.
Over a year later, there's not a single new scratch on that screen.
Makes me wonder whether the screen protectors are truly necessary (unlike cases).
Just wondering how you like going from 12PM to 16 Pro? I’m thinking about going the same route but on the fence about if I’d be happy with a smaller phone in the long run.
It's weird, I simultaneously had a regular iPhone 12 from work and always found it a little too small. Now that I only have the iPhone 16 Pro, I don't feel like it's too small at all.aybe the thinner bezel gives it the illusion that it's bigger than it is + if I am not mistaken, it actually is ever so slightly bigger than the regular 15 etc
Long story short, I’ve been to a couple of stores playing with both and still can’t make up my mind, lol. I mean it’s hard when they’re tethered to a table to get a real sense of them. How does the battery of your Pro compare to your 12PM? According to Apple it’s supposed to outlast it, and with my battery health at 82% I’d hope it would. If it’s at least as good as when the 12PM was new(in real world usage, not what Apple claims), I’d be totally happy with that.
